Hissy fit time

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

I guess I was overdue. lol

Now bear in mind that I am keeping my doctor NSV and my clothing NSV firmly in mind.
Last week I gained .2 but wasn't that upset as I had salty things at my nephew's birthday party. This past week I believe I kept things under control, did my exercise, drank the water, etc. Even the times I indulged in Doritos, I tracked (at least on the Weight Watchers etools... I haven't been so good with tracking on SP.)

I gained another .2 this week.

Realistically, I know this *really* isn't that big a deal.. .4 is less than a half a lb. But I wasn't expecting it this week... so I got really, REALLY ticked off. And I'm not proud to admit it, but I threw a big ol' hissy-fit/temper tantrum.

BUT.... I'm not giving up. That never entered my head. The tantrum is over and now I'm trying to think of what I can do this week to shake things up so next Tuesday shows a loss at the scales.

Well, I totally understand! When I gained on WW I found that I started to be more lax with my measuring of things, or not so strict about my point values -- I was using all of my flex points.

Regardless, we all have times like this! You are right thinking it is only less than half a pound! Imagine how much you could have gained, had you not been trying! You can do this! You will bounce back!

From one Tracy to another I can assure you that a good ole fashioned hissy fit is necessary sometimes - you worked hard and it doesn't show...yet. But it will. For me sometimes it helps to go over a little - a day where I go off track just to shock my body. Sometimes I need to re-evaluate what my balance of calories are from (too many carbs, too much crap food even if not outside my points or calorie range).

I found a great snack that I now eat when I get that crunchy salty urge....pepperidge farm goldfish!@ There is a whole wheat kind and 55 crackers with a small slice of ff cheese or string cheese to me is such a filling snack and not a lot of salt either! Good Luck!
